Looking for something putrid to pour over your chocolate graveyard cake this Halloween? How about some blood & guts with a distinctive berry flavor?

This sauce is great on melted brains (vanilla ice cream), ghoul cakes (pancakes) and any of a number of complementary dismembered body (dessert) parts. For even more interesting texture, swirl in a few worms (gummy) and eyeballs (jawbreakers). Mmmm... brains!!
